Overview

• The primary objective of testing was to evaluate the performance of the Baseline MCPT Environment configuration while attempting to optimize costs by adjusting instance types and reducing the number of instances. The tests were designed to compare the performance outcomes across different configurations, including variations in instance types and counts within multiple Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs). By systematically modifying these variables, the goal was to maintain or improve the performance observed in the baseline configuration while achieving cost efficiency.

Summary

• Through a series of experiments involving different placement strategies, instance types, and total instance counts, we found that the performance remained consistent when using these two configuration: 
  • six c7g.large instances (three dedicated to the okapi service and three allocated to mod-courses, mod-sender, mod-tasks-list, mod-gobi, edge-dematic, mod-erm-usage, mod-eusage-reports, mod-notify, and mod-data-import services) alongside ten r7g.xlarge instances for all other services, with the CPU parameter set to 2 for all services.
  • three c7g.large instances dedicated to the okapi service alongside five r7g.2xlarge instances for all other services, with the CPU parameter set to 2 for all services.
• Notably, both environment configuration offers a 40% cost reduction compared to the existing setup, making it a more economical option without compromising on performance.
• Configurations with three c7g.large instances for the okapi service and five r7g.2xlarge instances for all other services show the best performance across all experiments. So it will be more tests in this ticket.
• Tests had 100% errors count for AIE_TC: Create Invoices, AIE_TC: Invoices Approve, AIE_TC: Paying Invoices, TC: Receiving-an-Order-Line, Unreceiving-a-Piece and Unreceiving-a-Piece Workflows because data was not regenerated.
